You’re right, that was me (offshore74) asking a million questions over on Sailnet :) I really like being as informed as I can be from all angles, hence the reason I came over here where C&C owners reside as one of you here suggested. I’m not as overwhelmed by the idea of cored hulls after hearing some more points of view so it’s helpful.
Thanks for all the insights I will be speaking with a reputable surveyor tomorrow to grill him on his experience with C&Cs and cored hulls. I will also have a rigger (who the broker offered up) give some free advise beforehand on some of the shrouds which are…rod? Not the wound cable type. Another big ticket item. So far based on what I know, the current 40k asking price (with room to pay for upgrades/repairs and needed equipment) is a bit steep. But I’ll know more once I get some experts to poke around before putting a serious offer on the table before sea trial/survey.
